The COLONIAL SECRETARY--As regards. the first of those papers, the draft agree- ment made between the Governor of Hongkong and Messrs. Dennys & Bowley, representing the promoters, for a scheme for developing a portion of the south side of the island of Hongkong, this agree ment is now being
before the Council, but it is proposed to take no action upon it till the next meeting of the Council, which will be at least a fortnight benca, in order that hun. mem bera of Council may have an opportunity of studying it and forming their views. It is then proposed to submit it for the approval of the Council.

Connaught Road is subject, more over to great damage in the typhoon ser.son by water being dashed over the road surface and washing it away Therefore I imagine, as soon as money is available, if the Director of Public Was follows the advice of the Govern meat, that Connaught Rond and Des Voeux Road are two roads which ought really to have priority, and they are nonover roads where there is exceeding ly heavy traffic.

In 1012 the number of cases of plague treated at the Government Civil Hospital was 37, and in 1913 the number was 7
The number of such cases treated there during each month of the present year is as follows:-January 2, February 2, March 8, April 16, and May 22. It very seldom happened that a sister who had charge of a plague patient did duty in the Maternity Hospital.
Arrangements, however, have recently been made for plague cases to be treated in a separate ward, the sister in charge of which does not work in the Maternity Hospital.
